A branch of Joey Pepperoni's Pizza is opening here on First Avenue between 13th Street and 14th Street... (this space was most recently Ikura Sushi...) There are a few Joey Pepperoni locations around the city... Midtown Lunch reviewed the $1 cheese slice at the Tribeca outpost.

The verdict: This was a good piece of pizza, and when you add in the $1 price tag it’s kind of amazing. The crust was really crisp and the cheese plentiful and slightly browned in spots.

@anonymous 12 PM: as a vegetarian you may want then to forgo the cheese also -- those dairy cows live in hell for about six years, are forcibly impregnated so as to produce milk, see their calves pulled from them a day or so after birth, and ultimately get shipped off to the slaughterhouse. Not the "contented cows" bullshit that many of us grew up believing.
